Perhaps because he doesn't believe in 30 year old stereotypes?

2007 J Power survey, care of What Car? Magazine. My bits in [brackets]

"29 Fiat Punto [out of 31 in class]
Rating 74.9%
Overall ranking 106th [out of 113]

...

The Punto scored poorly across the board, but its real Achilles heel was
its quality and reliability: every part, from the switchgear to the
seats and stereo, caused an above average number of complaints, and the
suspension and engine were particularly weak points."

Ahh, yes, that's such an accurate survey.

That's the one that placed the Skoda Superb in the top 10 with the
mechanically identical B5.5 Passat way down in 50th-ish place.

For that reason alone, I take absolutely no notice of it.
